SAFETY STANDARDS

This appliance is designed ONLY for domestic conservation of foodstuffs.

Installation must be as instructed in this guide. Incorrect installation could damage the

appliance.

For any operating problems, always and only contact authorised After Sales Service centres,

or qualified personnel.

Before carrying out any maintenance, disconnect the appliance, but not by pulling

on the power supply cable.

If this fridge replaces another, which had a latching, spring-mounted, locking or other closure

system, do not forget to destroy the closure device or better yet remove the door of your old

fridge, so that no-one could become trapped inside (children playing, animals, etc.).

RECOMMENDATIONS

After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it is undamaged. If it is, the reseller should be

notified of any damage within 24 hours of delivery. The packaging materials used are entirely

recyclable (cardboard, PE bubble wrap, EPS, etc.). Keep these materials out of the reach

of children.







The appliance's cooling circuit contains a coolant called isobutane, a relatively clean

natural gas which is nonetheless flammable. During transport and installation of the

appliance, make sure that none of the components of the cooling circuit is damaged. In the

event of damage, keep away from flames and ignition sources, and ventilate the room well.

For optimum operation of the appliance, install it away from sources of heat and make sure

that air can circulate freely around it (see appliance installation).

15

INSTALLATION

Before installing, carefully read the Recommendations and Safety standards in order

to avoid a certain number of problems.

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room, away from all sources of heat. Leave a

minimum gap of 10 cm between the top of the appliance and any overhead units. If your

installation does not enable you to do this, then leave 5 cm between the top of the appliance

and any other wall-mounted units, and a gap of 2.5 cm on each side of the appliance.

If your appliance is to be installed next to another fridge or freezer, keep a gap of 5 cm on the

sides to prevent condensation forming on the outside of the appliance.

The climate class of your fridge is marked on its ID plate. It determines the range of

ambient temperatures for which the cooling unit is designed, and within which correct

operation of the appliance is guaranteed.

Class Ambient temperatures

N 16° to 32°

ST 16° to 38°

T 16° to 43°

Electrical connection

 Connector characteristics: 220-230V with earth.

 Avoid using adapters or extension leads.

 Avoid the cable coming into contact with the compressor.

 Avoid trapping the cable under the appliance.

The appliance's electrical installation is earthed. For your safety, connect the appliance to a

power outlet with effective earthing (in conformity with current electrical installation safety

standards).

The manufacture declines all liability for damage caused by the absence of an earth

connection.

CAUTION – BEFORE CONNECTING

1. Clean the inside of the fridge with warm water containing bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and

dry thoroughly.

2. Wait for 2 hours before switching on, to ensure that the lubricants in the motor

compressor have stabilised.

16

REVERSING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION

It is possible to reverse the door opening

direction (left instead of right):

The appliance must always be

disconnected when you change the

opening direction.

1. Remove the top of the fridge: remove

the 2 screw covers on the top, remove

the 2 screws and slide the top forward.

2. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the

rear and wedge it in this position.

3. Unscrew the door hinge screws and

remove the hinge pin support.

4. Slightly open the door and lower it out

of its hinge.

5. Unscrew the upper pin and screw it in

on the opposite side. Insert the door

into the pin and close it.

6. Firmly screw the hinge pin support onto

the opposite side.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION and

 - Butter and cheese compartments



- Door shelves

 - Bottle rack

 - Vegetable compartment

 - Storage racks

 - Thermostat and light switch

 - Ice-box or freezer

 - ID plate

Note: your fridge may differ slightly from this diagram.

The appliance comprises 2 compartments: a lower compartment for refrigerating and keeping

food fresh and an upper compartment for keeping frozen foods for a maximum of 2

weeks or an upper compartment

for keeping frozen foods for 4 weeks, freezing fresh

food and making ice-cubes.



18

USING THE FRIDGE

When the thermostat is set to off, the appliance does not operate. To switch it on, you must

turn the knob clockwise. Value 1 corresponds to the warmest temperature and 6 to the

coldest.

The temperatures in the 2 compartments cannot be adjusted separately.

For an ambient temperature of 16°C, you should use a setting of 1. For an ambient

temperature of ±25°C, values 2, 3 or 4 can be selected.

RECOMMENDATIONS

 Do not put hot food or bottles without stopper in the fridge.

 NEVER place volatile, flammable or explosive liquids such as solvents, acetone or petrol

inside the fridge, as there is a risk of explosion.

 Meat and fish should be wrapped to prevent smells.

 Leave sufficient space between food items to enable air to circulate between them.

 Never place the food items in contact with the cold wall at the back of the fridge. The door

should not be left open longer than necessary.

19

USING THE ICE-BOX or FREEZER

Ice-box

This compartment is used to keep food frozen for a maximum of 2 weeks, and to make ice-

cubes.

Freezer

This compartment is used to keep food frozen, to freeze fresh products and to make ice-

cubes.

Do not freeze a large quantity of food at any one time (maximum of 1.5 kg/24h), as the faster

an item is frozen, the more it will keep its qualities. Similarly, make sure that you wrap your

foodstuffs before freezing, so that they retain their full flavour and do not spoil the other

products.

The conservation time for frozen food depends on the type of food. Refer to the instructions

on the packaging. Do not place bottles or drink cans in the ice-box as they can burst when

their contents freeze. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode! NEVER keep lemonade,

fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc… in the ice-box/freezer compartment.

DEFROSTING

The defrosting system for the fridge is automatic. The inside rear face of the fridge is cove-

red with frost when the compressor operates and defrosts when it stops. When the ice melt

the water evaporates by itself.

The ice-box compartment / freezer

must always be de-iced when the layer

of frost reaches a thickness of about 4 mm. In any case, this compartment should be de-

frosted at least once a year.

When de

frosting, you can use a scraper or other plastic implement, but NEVER a metal

instrument or electrical device.

1.

Switch off and disconnect the appliance.

2. Place your frozen food in a freezer bag and keep it cool.

3.

Once de-icing is completed, you can then clean your appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the fridge before cleaning it.

Clean the inside with water plus bicarbonate of soda, using a sponge or cloth. This will

prevent the build-up of unpleasant odours.

Never use a steam cleaner, solvent or abrasive detergent, as they could damage the interior

of your appliance. Never wash the interior accessories in the dishwasher.

We recommend that you run the vacuum cleaner over the back of the appliance once a year,

as if it is dirty, its efficiency drops and its energy consumption rises.

REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB

1. Disconnect the fridge.

2. Remove the drip tray.

3. The bulb is behind the thermostat panel.

4. Remove the bulb by unscrewing it counter clockwise.

5. Screw in a new 15W bulb.

6. Fit the drip tray, reconnect the appliance and switch it on.

OPERATING PROBLEMS

The fridge creates a number of noises that are perfectly normal:

 The coolant gas can create a gurgling sound as it circulates through the system.

 The compressor can rumble, a sound which can be more intense when it starts up.

 Sharp cracking sounds produced by expansion and contraction of the materials used.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The fridge does not operate

Check that it is properly plugged in, that the fuse has not

blown or that the circuit-breaker has not tripped.

The fridge vibrates or makes noise Check that it is perfectly level. Adjust the feet.

The fridge is too cold/not cold

enough

Check the thermostat and adjust it to a more suitable

temperature.

The fridge light does not come one

Check the bulb and change it if necessary. Also check that

the plug is correctly inserted, that the fuse has not blown or

that the circuit-breaker has not tripped.

The compressor does not restart

after a temperature change

This is normal, as the compressor only restarts after a

certain time.

There is water on the floor or on the

racks

The drain hole is blocked. Unclog it with a knitting needle.
